holywell bay

Famous for it's ginormous sand dunes and small river that meanders down to the sea, Holywell Bay is a firm favourite for those holidaying in North Cornwall. The sand is beautifully soft and dotted with shells, and the huge expanse of beach is perfect for families. The name Holywell is derived from holy well and it is believed this refers to a cave at the northern end of the beach. Only accessible at low tide (so take care) the cave contains an unusual rock formation which creates a series of basins.

Dogs welcome all year.

National Trust car park at the rear of the dunes. Charges vary.

The village boasts numerous pubs and convenience stores. There is also a lifeguard station directly on the beach.
